As far as I know, none of the organisations accepting donations on behalf of the Debian project accept bitcoin. We are considering it for the SLX Debian Labs foundation which accept donations for the Debian Edu/Skolelinux project, but have not concluded yet. I am the chair of the SLX Debianc Labs foundation. I believe there are some accounting and legal issues as well as some practical issues to consider before we can accept it. Given that the EFF with its privacy sensitive target group so far has only received 2483.8 bitcoins[1] to its bitcoin donation address, it seem unlikely that Debian will receive much money this way any time soon. But it might be interesting to support the bitcoin system by accepting donations, and give users of bitcoin more to spend their bitcoins on. :) 1 Extracted using "lynx -dump http://blockexplorer.com/address/1MCwBbhNGp5hRm5rC1Aims2YFRe2SXPYKt|grep Received:|grep Block|awk '{sum = sum + $6} END { print sum}'".
